I’m from Brazil, where iPhones are stupidly overpriced. I’m traveling to NYC in May and I was planning on grabbing a 14 Pro Max, since my 11 is pissing me off already.

I’ll think about it a bit more. Waiting for the 15 would mean paying the stupid Apple tax towards the end of the year.

I would be OK if Apple adhered to USB-C and USB-PD standards but had a voluntary "MFI" approval process to ensure that a third party cable will get max charging speeds and data rates for your iPhone.

At the moment you have no clue what a certain cable is capable of.

I certainly agree that local backup is the way to go, I lost reminders twice and notes once. I’m glad I don’t use iCloud for images it’s way to risky to be honest. Imagine years of collection disappear in seconds. There is NO warning ⛔️ you do it accidentally and the only way to realize you made a mistake is after it happens. They don’t tell you “your data will disappear” and no one can restore them, apple support makes it worse “in my case”

Everyone wants this. Why do we need a half dozen cables if they could all be the same? It’s wasteful and bad for the consumer.

Imagine if every car manufacturer used a different fuel nozzle receiver. That would severely limit when and where you could refuel.
